Welcome to R-Ladies Netherlands Book Club 📚 🇳🇱!!

R-Ladies chapters from the Netherlands are gathering forces to host online book clubs!

We are very excited to start with the book Advanced R by Hadley Wickham.

What to expect?:

  • Highlight the key points on each topic of the book with a presentation.

  • Go together through the exercises.

  • Discuss and clarify doubts.

When?

The events will be hosted every two weeks by different R-Ladies chapters, on Tuesdays at 6pm, via zoom.

Current agenda:

2 Names and values Teaches you about an important distinction that you probably haven’t thought deeply about: the difference between an object and its name. Improving your mental model here will help you make better predictions about when R copies data and hence which basic operations are cheap and which are expensive Laurel Brehm 2020-04-07 Nijmengen NA
3 Vectors Dives into the details of vectors, helping you learn how the different types of vector fit together. You’ll also learn about attributes, which allow you to store arbitrary metadata, and form the basis for two of R’s object-oriented programming toolkits. Paloma Rojas 2020-04-21 Rotterdam NA
4 Subsetting Describes how to use subsetting to write clear, concise, and efficient R code. Understanding the fundamental components will allow you to solve new problems by combining the building blocks in novel ways. Martine Jansen 2020-05-12 Den Bosch NA
5 Control flow Presents tools of control flow that allow you to only execute code under certain conditions, or to repeatedly execute code with changing inputs. These include the important if and for constructs, as well as related tools like switch() and while. NA 2021-05-26 Amsterdam NA
